Borland out for Austin Peay; no call yet on redshirt

Madison - Wisconsin's depth chart for the Austin Peay game was released Monday and to no one's surprise linebacker Chris Borland (shoulder) is not listed and will not play.

According to head coach Bret Bielema, no decision has been made on whether Borland will redshirt this season.

"He'll go through some (tests) today," Bielema said. "He and I are going to have a conversation later today."

Bielema clarified that Borland, who has played in two games this season, can play in two more through UW's first six games and still retain the option of redshirting.

"But we're only going to put him out there if it is in his best interests and (his) health and safety," Bielema said.

Wide receiver Nick Toon (turf toe), who did not play last week, is listed as a starter this week. However, according to Bielema he hasn't been cleared to play yet.

Isaac Anderson is the second starter at wide receiver, with Jared Abbrederis and Kyle Jefferson the reserves.

David Gilreath (concussion) is not listed on the depth chart but he has not ruled out for the game.

"I would say Nick Toon and David Gilreath both have a chance for this weekend," he said. "If we had to play a game tomorrow they wouldn't be involved.

"But they both got increasingly better as the week wore on last week."

Ricky Wagner and Josh Oglesby are listed on the No. 1 line at right tackle. Ditto for Bill Nagy and Kevin Zeitler at right guard.

According to Bielema, Wagner and Nagy are expected to start this week.

Wagner got his first start in place of Oglesby (knee) last week against Arizona State.

"Ricky Wagner played really, really well," Bielema said. "Josh is way ahead of where we thought he was going to be (in) rehab. He was itching to play on Saturday. They just won't clear him yet but my guess is he'll probably get cleared at some point this week.

"But the way Ricky played, I don't see that changing before Saturday."

Nagy has started all three games this season but Zeitler got his most extensive work of the season against Arizona State.

"We'll kind of go with the same plan at right guard between Billy Nagy and Zeitler, give them equal reps during the course of the week," Bielema said. "Billy will get the nod...unless something changes during the course of the week."

Freshman James White appears on the verge of taking over as the No. 2 tailback ahead of sophomore Montee Ball.

White and Ball are both listed on the No. 2 line behind John Clay but this week White is listed ahead of Ball. That was not the case last week.

"James has got a lot of talent," Bielema said. "James does certain things very, very well that we think he is different than John and Montee.

"So he is going to get more attempts. Montee is a guy of the three that probably needs to get it going a little bit more."

Clay leads UW in rushing with averages of 6.2 yards per carry and 127.7 yards per game. White is second at 5.4 per carry and 41.3 per game. Ball is third at 4.0 per carry and 40.3 per game.
